Chapter 333: Spring of Life!

"My lord! Good morning!"

"My lord, good morning!"

The bells jingled.

Two lovely maids entered the room, and Gervas temporarily cast his worries aside.

No matter what, nothing is more important than this lord enjoying himself.

Otherwise, working oneself to death, worrying and fretting all day long, then one might as well not be a lord at all.

"Caroline, Rebena, good morning!"

Gervas rose with a warm smile, and the two maids immediately got busy.

Caroline walked toward the coat rack nearby, where Gervas's silk robe hung.

Rebena set down the copper basin and took a warm towel to begin washing Gervas.

"My lord, is this pressure okay?"

"It is, Rebena!"

Now Rebena's movements were very standard, and the pressure was just right.

"Giggle, giggle, giggle, Rebena, look, you were praised by my lord again today! I'm so envious of you!"

Rebena's pretty face instantly turned red. "Sister Caroline, if it weren't for you, I definitely couldn't have learned to serve my lord so quickly!"

"Rebena speaks correctly; Caroline, your merit is not small either!" Gervas knew Caroline wasn't being jealous but teasing Rebena.

But that didn't stop him from coaxing the head maid too.

Sure enough, Caroline instantly beamed with joy.

At this moment, Gervas added another sentence, "Of course, the punishment still cannot be reduced!"

"My lord, Caroline knows!" Caroline's eyes were watery, making Gervas wish he could start the punishment right away.

"Depart!"

With Gervas's command, a team composed of six knights and thirty cavalrymen marched out of the castle, heading toward Wheat Fragrance Town.

Now that he had light cavalry, Gervas basically didn't bring infantry when going out.

After all, cavalry is faster and more agile.

And such a display, if not for the Storm Domain being too remote, in those great cities, the head-turning rate would absolutely be one hundred percent.

After all, this was truly a great noble master's display, which had already made Gervas a very flashy man.

"My lord, this is Maple Leaf Hills; the mountain peak in the middle is the highest peak of Maple Leaf Hills!"

"Very good, the others wait here; Lei Meng, you few come with me!"

Outside the fiery red maple forest, Gervas arrived at his destination.

The precious thing known as the Spring of Life, he certainly dared not delay even a moment.

Fortunately, Maple Leaf Hills wasn't large, just undulating for about ten-plus kilometers.

Gervas found a serf familiar with the terrain and went straight to the highest peak of the hills.

After giving orders to the cavalrymen, Gervas took Lei Meng, Knight Mi Gen, and a few other knights and dove straight into the forest.

It was currently autumn; fallen leaves were everywhere around, which actually made the forward view more open.

With no danger whatsoever, Gervas's group quickly arrived at the foot of the highest peak.

"My lord, what are we looking for here today?" Mi Gen looked at the slightly desolate scenery around and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I need to find a spring!"

While speaking, Gervas observed the course of the three-to-four-meter-wide stream in front of him.

Since it is spring water, one only needs to follow the stream; that absolutely won't be wrong.

"Spring water? My lord? Could it be some kind of Spirit Spring?" Mi Gen's eyes lit up brightly; he had witnessed the Spirit Spring at Swan Lake, which directly allowed the Rainbow-Winged Swans to settle down.

If another one could appear, then perhaps other good things might emerge too.

"Something even better than a Spirit Spring!"

"This... My lord, there don't seem to be many things better than a Spirit Spring, right?" Mi Gen paused, "The only one I know is the Elves' Spring of Life; it couldn't be that one, could it?"

Mi Gen said the last sentence as a joke, not taking it seriously.

But after Gervas heard it, he nodded with a smile. "That's right, Mi Gen, you guessed quite accurately; it is the Spring of Life!"

"This... this... My lord, you aren't tricking the little one, are you??"

"Do you think I would be that bored?" Gervas questioned.

Mi Gen shrank his head. "My lord, you certainly wouldn't be that bored; it's just... it's just that this is too incredible!"

Although he said that, Mi Gen's subsequent search was the most diligent.

If he could really see the legendary Spring of Life that brings the dead back to life, then bragging about it would be enough for a lifetime.

Lei Meng and the other knights, although not as talkative as Mi Gen, also worked just as diligently upon learning that what Gervas was seeking was actually the Spring of Life,

and the stream ahead, moving forward, soon split into five branches.

And all five branches could be the Spring of Life.

Fortunately, Gervas's group had many people, so he ordered everyone to split up and investigate.

Soon, the search for the spring yielded a discovery.

The one who found the target was actually Mi Gen.

"My lord, come over quickly and take a look; my little ditch here is spouting out from the spring; could this be the Spring of Life you are looking for?!"

Through the dense forest, Gervas heard Mi Gen's shout.

He didn't delay and went straight toward Mi Gen's location.

Soon, Gervas arrived at Knight Mi Gen's location.

This was a hollow nestled to the left of Shanfeng in the hills.

Surrounding it were stone cliffs with a drop of seven or eight meters.

Beneath the cliffs, a spring gushed forth continuously.

This spring water gathered into a ditch, flowing constantly toward the main stream downstream.

"My lord, is this the Spring of Life?" Knight Mi Gen asked, his face full of expectation.

Gervas had actually sensed a slight, unusual fluctuation of elements, but he dared not be one hundred percent certain.

"This needs an experiment!"

"My lord, how shall we experiment?" Knight Mi Gen was somewhat impatient.

"This is simple, hand it over!" Gervas smiled slightly.

Knight Mi Gen did not understand, yet he still extended his hand.

With a *puchi*, a flash of cold light passed, and a bloodstain appeared on Knight Mi Gen's palm.

"Come, try whether this spring water can heal your wound!"

"If it can, then it proves that Knight Mi Gen you have truly found the Spring of Life!"

Knight Mi Gen widened his eyes.

Good heavens! He cried out, "Good heavens!"

So that was the method, but, was his wound perhaps a bit too severe?

It was just a verification; poking a hole in a fingertip would have sufficed!

Of course, before such a thought could fully settle, the next moment Knight Mi Gen suddenly widened his eyes again.

"Eh? My lord, look! Look at my hand!"

It was seen that as Knight Mi Gen placed his hand into the spring water, faint green light spots actually appeared within the originally clear and bright water.

These green light spots slowly gathered toward the wound on Knight Mi Gen's palm.

The next moment, visible to the naked eye, Knight Mi Gen's nearly five-centimeter wound began to heal.

First, the bleeding stopped; then flesh and blood grew; after that, a scab formed.

And after the scab formed, naturally, it would fall off; the five-centimeter wound quickly became four centimeters, then three centimeters.

And then... hmm, there was no "then" after that.

By this time, the green light spots had been completely exhausted.

"Uh, my lord, why has it stopped!" Knight Mi Gen paused, then took his hand out.

Although only a three-centimeter scab remained, which had not yet fallen off, it would naturally heal completely by tomorrow or the day after at the latest.

But the problem was, this still differed somewhat from the imagined Spring of Life.

"Knight Mi Gen, this spring water is merely the prototype of the Spring of Life; it only carries life elements!"

"Therefore, to make it truly become a Spring of Life like that of the Elf Clan, a sufficiently large pool must be built to allow it to gather more life force, thereby nurturing itself!"

"So that is how it is, my lord, that is still excellent! The Spring of Life, if successfully nurtured, will mean we need never fear injury in future battles!" Hearing the explanation, Knight Mi Gen's look of disappointment immediately faded.

After all, as long as there truly was a Spring of Life, even if one had to wait a while, that was no matter.

At this time, Lei Meng and others also arrived successively upon hearing the sound.

Upon hearing Knight Mi Gen display his wound while describing the miracle of the spring water, the expressions on everyone's faces likewise showed joy.

And Gervas did not delay; he had Lei Meng and others move stones to make markers.

Subsequently, Old John could be sent people to come and build the spring pool, accumulating the spring water and life elements!
